- Principal Amount: $2,175,625.
- Interest Rate: 10% per annum.
- Maturity: 24 months from issuance.
- Net Proceeds: $1,650,000 (after original issue discount and legal fees).
- Collateral: Substantially all company assets excluding intellectual property.
- Prepayment Penalty: Prepayments within the first 12 months result in a balance reduction equal to the prepayment amount divided by 80% (e.g., a $100,000 payment reduces the balance by $125,000).
Material Changes and Use of Proceeds
The company utilized $1,610,013 of the net proceeds from the new Note to fully repay an existing obligation to Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. under a Secured Convertible Promissory Note dated September 28, 2018. This transaction represents a refinancing of existing debt rather than an expansion of total indebtedness, though the new note carries a higher principal face value due to the original issue discount.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future operations, or specific risk factors beyond the terms of the new debt agreement. The primary contingency noted is the security interest held by the lender over substantially all company assets (excluding IP), which could impact future financing or asset disposition.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the exact terms of the prepayment penalty and how it impacts future cash flow planning.
- Confirm the status of the company's remaining assets post-collateralization, specifically regarding intellectual property exclusions.
- Review the impact of the 10% interest rate on future earnings and cash flow requirements.
- Check subsequent filings for any covenant breaches or additional debt issuances.
